Over 40 new full-time M.Sc. students recently commenced their studies and completed the first of their nine modules. The module – Introduction to SCM – provided students with an overview of all strategic and operational aspects of the subject. Each component element will be dealt with in more detail in the modules that follow during the 2012/13 academic year. This year’s cohort comprises students from a wide variety of academic backgrounds – a reflection of the multi-disciplinary nature of SCM. The global nature of SCM is also reflected in the group with students from Ireland, Spain, Austria, China, Saudi Arabia, Kazakhstan, Nigeria and India.

The programme provides students with a detailed knowledge of the theory and practice of SCM, thus preparing them for a variety of roles in industry. The introductory module was well received by the new students. In particular, students commented positively on the clarity of the lectures, the use of case studies and group sessions, the quality of the support materials and the manner in which the programme is organised and administered.

NITL wishes all new full-time students every success with their studies. Programme co-ordinator, Antonio de Linares commented: “We are delighted with this positive start to the academic year and we look forward to working with all new students to ensure that their potential is realised”.
